The departing Conor Gallagher from Chelsea has been hailed by his teammate, Moises Caicedo, as an exceptional player.
With only a year remaining on his current deal, the English midfielder has been linked to a move away from west London.
Reports suggest that Gallagher has agreed to join Atletico Madrid from Chelsea in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Atletico Madrid is reportedly close to finalizing a deal to secure the services of Gallagher, with a reported fee of £34 million to seal the transfer.
Since joining Chelsea in the summer of 2023, Caicedo has played alongside Gallagher in 47 matches without any shared goal contributions.
Responding to queries about Gallagher’s potential departure from the team, Caicedo commented (via @NizaarKinsella):
“Conor is undoubtedly a top player. Playing alongside him is a pleasure. He truly is an exceptional player. That’s all I can say about it.”
